“…This land usage is not even evenly distributed among the various modes of transportation infrastructure, resulting in its dominance as a driver of the ecological footprint in various capacities [ 70 ]. Several studies, such as [ 56 , 70 , 72 – 77 ] assessed the contribution of the public transport network, partial transport infrastructure, land use for transport in the context of the carbon footprint with respect to overall life cycle emission and environmental degradation.…”

This study analyzed the asymmetric impact of the physical infrastructure and trade openness on Pakistan’s ecological footprint over the period 1970–2019 using the non-linear autoregressive distributed lag model. The study results posit that positive and negative shocks to physical infrastructure increase and decrease the ecological footprint asymmetrically in the short-run and symmetrically in the long-run. Likewise, the positive and negative shocks to trade openness increase and decrease the ecological footprint asymmetrically, both in the short and in the long run. Furthermore, urbanization also positively and significantly increases Pakistan’s ecological footprint in the short and long run. Moreover, a 1% increase in physical infrastructure increases the ecological footprint by 0.32%, while a 1% decrease in physical infrastructure decreases the ecological footprint by 0.33% in the long run. Similarly, a 1% increase in trade openness causes a 0.09% increase in the ecological footprint in the long term, while a 1% reduction in trade openness causes a 0.61% reduction in the ecological footprint. The results also conclude that urbanization is a major determinant of Pakistan’s long-term ecological footprint. Thus, a 1% increase in urbanization causes a 1.31% increase in the ecological footprint in the long run. Finally, this study recommends that policies regarding physical infrastructure be formulated keeping in view its environmental impact. In addition, strict environmental policies should be implemented to reduce the environmental degradation effect of trade openness.

“…Noting that emission from delivery of mails was responsible for 82 % of the PO's carbon footprint, it is advised that more efficient methods of delivering parcels should be adopted, this could be proper scheduling [17,18], or the use of more fuel efficient vehicles [19,20] or even electric motorcycles which have been proven to reduce last mile emission by up to 50 % [21].…”

This research work focuses on carbon footprinting the operations of a township post office in a developing country. The analysis was carried out in accordance with the Universal Postal Union’s guidelines for carbon accounting. The results showed that for the inventory year, the office’s carbon footprint was 13.3423 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). It was found that for each gram of parcel delivered, 0.0171 kgCO2e was emitted into the atmosphere. Results further showed that 82 % of emission is attributed to delivery of mails while 18 % is as a result of sorting and other minor activities within the facility.

“…Carbon footprint accounting is becoming a topic of great interest, with special relevance in the passenger transport sector. That is not only due to environmental concerns but also to regulations and marketing issues (i.e., brand image, competition, or internal procedures for a better development) [1].…”

Today, the transport of people and goods is an integral part of every country. For passengers and customers, the price and time of transport are dominant. Today, very few passengers and customers look at the ecological side of transport. The ecological side of transport is represented by various parameters and one of them, which is addressed in this article is the carbon footprint. The main task of the presented article is to create a methodology for comparing the carbon footprint on the Žilina -Rajec railway line. It is a non-electrified line of local significance. The comparison consists in the electrification of the line and the subsequent deployment of electrical units. The main task of the presented article is to create a methodology for comparing the carbon footprint on the Žilina -Rajec railway line. It is a non-electrified line of local significance. The comparison consists in the electrification of the line and the subsequent deployment of electrical units. The aim is to determine the advantage of electrification of this line from an ecological point of view based on this parameter. At the same time, it is possible to point out the beneficial effects of the use of rail transport in the long run for the environment.
